![Certainly! Here is the transcription of the mathematical problems, suitable for educational purposes:
---
1. **Let** \( a_1 = 1 \) **and define** \( a_{n+1} = \sqrt{4a_n - 1} \) **for** \( n \geq 1 \). **Show that the sequence** \( \{a_n\} \) **converges and find the limit.**
2. **Let** \( \{a_n\} \) **be a monotone sequence. Show that** \( \{a_n\} \) **is a Cauchy sequence if and only if it is bounded.**
3. **Consider the sequence**
\[
a_n = \sin \frac{n\pi}{5}, \quad n = 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots
\]
**Find**
\[
\limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n, \quad \liminf_{n \to \infty} a_n.
\]
4. **Find the following limits:**
\[
\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^2 + x - 6}{x^2 - 4}, \quad \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x - 2|}{x^2 - 4}.
\]
**Note that the second limit above is a one-sided limit!**
5. **Use the** \( \epsilon - \delta \) **definition to show that the function**
\[
f(x) = \frac{x - 1}{x + 2}
\]
**is continuous at** \( x = 3 \).
6. **Show that the equation** \( 5^x = x^4 \) **has at least one real root. You may assume that the functions** \( 5^x \) **and** \( x^4 \) **are both continuous on** \( (-\infty, +\infty) \).
---
Each problem invites exploration into different aspects of calculus and analysis, including convergence, limits, continuity, and solving equations using mathematical reasoning and definitions such as the \(\epsilon - \delta\) definition of continuity.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3bf7da54-5138-4b57-a0f9-aec30fa8e8cf%2F704af115-79e5-4306-8f7c-e192f024330f%2Fncruss_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
